@TeaCup I don’t think I’d even get visible vapor at level 3, but I do struggle with hot spotting as well with this vape. The AVB never comes out very even for me. I’m usually running around 7 with the stock bowl and 8+ with the glass bowl through water. If I go down to 5-6 for dry hits, the hot spotting is less of an issue, but I don’t feel like I’m getting full extraction at those temps.
Hmmm, interesting. I didn't mention the full extraction bit, but yes, this!! That's also part of the problem, I'm wasting weed, I can put whatever's left in a different vape and still get a good hit. I feel like going higher in temps with the hotspotting just defeats the entire purpose because then I don't get a clean tasting hit. This whole thing is very frustrating. When
@Zillacon posted yesterday on Reddit that's really what pushed me over the edge in asking for help. One thing I've realized since joining FC though is just how much people differ in what's acceptable in their mind of a good tasting hit. Maybe nothings wrong at all and there's just a fine line between how high you can go in a temp with still tasting 100% pure. The fine line with this vape is what I'm questioning, it appears a little too fine??
I never care about the evenness of my duff. I don't think the color indicates much given my experience with looking at duff that no longer produces vapor.
Yeah see, I do, lol. I understand about color not being an indicator but I don't believe that's what's going on here. If your hotspotting and tunneling, to me that's different. Because it really takes away from the flavor big time, it's like one step away from charring because you get a huge roasted flavor mixed in with weed flavor if the hotspot is deep enough.
It's my favorite log because it is versatile, tasty and extracts efficiently.
Since you mentioned the TM, do you increase your draw speed at the high temps with that vape? Does it give you duff that you don't like?
I don't think the color indicates much given my experience with looking at duff that no longer produces vapor.
I only stay at one temp with all my vapes. I try to get them all to be at the same temp sensation in the back of my throat and same restriction within my draw. Yes, all my vapes beside this one I can get golden to medium brown ABV with full extraction and great taste.
Edit: Sorry for the double post, I didn't even realize it. I thing you can merge but I forgot how to.
